Testing the Hear It Podcast out on TikTok. 4 days in, around 12k views and a few hundred likes, it’s interesting figuring out what is/isn’t working on there. Since X became the worst place, I’ve needed to think about other platforms. Have a look/follow/feedback etc 🙌 www.tiktok.com/@thehearitpo...

"It'll become more difficult to distinguish professionally-verified information from other types of content on social media. Trust will be weakened," says Brazilian fact-checker @tainalon.bsky.social in this piece on Meta's U-turn on fact-checking reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/amid-wa...

"Gen Z want dictators"... the challenge with headlines from surveys is they'll get the click bait. There's a lot going on for youth audiences in the UK and as Channel 4 prepares to share findings in full this week, it's this label that's been publicised the most.

I've published All About Alphas today, a look at what life is like growing up in the UK. It's a sobering read, built on more than 30 research reports from the last year or so (so lots of links to more indepth data). Let me know what you think and feel free to share it www.canva.com/design/DAGcQ...

93% of children in the UK play online games and 40% of them have used loot boxes... I was curious as to what data was out there on things like loot boxes and skins trading as they've always given off gambling 🚩 When I say we don't talk about this enough....😮 www.threadandfable.com/post/how-in-...

Having just spent 24hrs in/out of hospital with my daughter, this is very timely. Both her and another young teen were in with similar symptoms, both clearly in agony. After a series of tests one consultant concluded it “might be one of those things”

Such a great piece with BBC Sport and Ilona Maher - people assume she’s not serious about the sport but as a female athlete she has to do more, financially and profile wise. Her approach to content and raising awareness of the sport is 👌 vm.tiktok.com/ZGdMqbMhD/
